A hundredth crime thriller is brewing in Alta Badia

Very thin gaps, a leader who doesn't answer to the name Marco Odermatt and Luca De Aliprandini, who is reaching for his first World Cup podium place: the first round of the giant slalom in Alta Badia makes you want more. Spectacle is guaranteed in the decision from 13.30 p.m.

The Gran Risa presented itself very aggressively on Sunday morning, which is why a fine blade was necessary. Giant slalom world champion Mathieu Faivre had this in his repertoire, who conjured up the fastest time in the snow with start number 2. However, a big cushion looks different: Marco Odermatt, who won the two giant slalom races so far this season, is only a measly two hundredths of a second behind.

So it's going to be a close race - also because the competition behind them isn't far away either. The Austrian Manuel Feller showed that giant slalom is becoming more and more suitable for him and is in third place, 0,19 seconds behind. However, the biggest surprise in the first run came from the US boy River Radamus, who finished in fourth place, 30 hundredths of a second behind. His finish was particularly spectacular: shortly before the end he lost his balance, fell into the finish area and landed in the advertising board, where he was audibly happy about his performance. De Aliprandini with a podium chance And the Azzurri? They have a hot iron in the fire with Luca De Aliprandini. The man from Nonsberg – who is vice world champion but has never been on the podium in the World Cup – is in fifth place and therefore close to the podium. Riccardo Tonetti from Bolzano was strong in the upper part, but then slipped and was eliminated. Simon Maurberger, Alex Hofer and Hannes Zingerle were unable to qualify for the second run. Manfred Mölgg is not on the Gran Risa.
